Dear John Letter

A couple of years ago, I thought I met the love of my life. Things got hot and heavy very quickly, and before I knew it, we were planning our new lives together in New York City. That all changed when I received a text stating, "Friends yes. Date no."
I was shattered and completely lost. I found myself driving on the 5 with Ed Sheeran's "Give Me Love" playing in the background as I yelled all of the things I wanted to say. That became the inspiration for this piece. At the very end, there's a moment when the dancers come downstage speaking their truth about a situation.
I called the piece "Dear John Letter," because that is essentially what happened. I was notified in writing that our relationship was terminated.
